10 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer! OMG 😱

Time flies, seriously! I found myself thinking yesterday, has it really been 10 years already?! And I have to admit, I felt a bit old 😅

I still remember my very first job as a web designer: completely lost among developers, project managers, and tight deadlines, I felt like a small fish in a big ocean 🌊.

At 22, I started my first full-time job, creating wireframes... in Word (yes, I know, it was rough 😬). Then, I moved on to UI design in Photoshop (not ideal either, haha), creating animations in Flash, and also working with Dreamweaver and Fireworks (remember those? 😆). It was definitely a different era!

My role kept evolving, from Web Designer to UX/UI Designer, and now Product Designer. Today, the stakes are totally different: it's not just about designing beautiful interfaces anymore, but about creating real business impact. Now we’re talking about KPIs, revenue, and of course, artificial intelligence. Who knows, maybe AI will end up replacing us someday? 🤖

If you ask me where I see myself in 5 years (that classic question!), I honestly wouldn’t know how to answer. Everything is so unpredictable in our field... but that’s what makes it so exciting

Cheers,
